Hi,
I realy appreciate the fact that you have interest in my flat.
I am a professional as well but presently out of the city to birmingham. I would love to rent out my flat to a neat, friendly person. Who ever rents the flat owns it all.
However, my Flat is very comfortable fully furnished.This is not any council property or property on council estate. I am a private landlord.
Spacious lounge, fully fitted large kitchen with washing machine,fridge,freezer,microwave, etc. Gas central heating, telephone, Wi-Fi , TV points and internet facilities Garage, gardens front and rear with barbque. Cooking utensils, bedding supplied .No agents, available to occupy now.
We can arrange for viewing now, i will need to know how serious you are in renting the flat because i have been fooled alot by people who pretended to be serious at first.
Once i know how committed you are, then i will be coming over upon your reply to
this email.
All bills inclusive the rent. Bank statement is not needed as evidence of willingness to renting flat. Once i recieve the following, i will be coming over for viewing;
(i)Reference letter from current landlord.
(ii)Westernunion transaction to KNOWN PERSON ( not me ) for financial capability.
Regards.
This person asks for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union payment to a friend or family member.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union and they will send the keys through a courier company.
In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.
If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
